Etymology: Trimma: Greek, trimma, -atos = something crushed (Ref. 45335); tevegae: Named for the American research vessel 'Te Vega', a converted luxury yacht, operated at the time the type specimens were collected in 1965 by Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station..

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Western Pacific: from north-east Borneo and the northern Philippines southward to the Solomon Islands; apparently absent from Australian, Palauan and Japanese waters, but probably more widely distributed in Indonesia than currently documented.

soft rays: 8 - 9. Characterized by golden brown body color; white on lower head and ventral body; presence of lavender or bluish lateral stripe from upper eye to middle of caudal peduncle; caudal fin base with large dark blotch; elongate and filamentous second dorsal spine; all pectoral rays unbranched; fifth pelvic ray unbranched; longitudinal scale series 25-26; predorsal scales about 12; cheek and opercle without scales; depth of body about 4.0-4.4 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Inhabits coastal to outer reefs, typically in small groups in caves (Ref. 48637). Forms loose aggregations associated with shallow pockets and caves of steep drop-offs. Hovers in a head-up position (often vertical, posture in the water column) and feeds on copepods (Ref. 1602, 58123).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 26.2 - 28.9, mean 27.9 °C (based on 464 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00473 - 0.02214), b=3.03 (2.85 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): (0 of 100) .
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 220 [107, 516] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.11 [0.61, 2.06] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.4 [16.6, 20.2] % ; Omega3 = 0.176 [0.082, 0.334] g/100g ; Selenium = 22.5 [10.6, 47.7] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 116 [31, 377] μg/100g ; Zinc = 2.31 [1.38, 3.73] mg/100g (wet weight);
